mag problem

mag problem

[Patrick Gundlach]

Hi,

I try to use \mag in a document, but I fail:

\mag=700
\starttext 
\input tufte
\stoptext


gives me 

! Incompatible magnification (700);
 the previous value will be retained (1000).

Any way to get \mag to work?

Just curious as to why do you need mag? Can't you achieve the same 
visual effect using \setupbodyfont[...] or \setuppapersize?

Probably because of the .top file setting up some value
that prevents subsequent changes to the magnification.
(\setupoutput maybe)

Probably yes, but too much thinking involved. For my purpose it is
even feasible to use convert (imagemagick) to scale down the result to
75%. I need a png anyway.
